A periodical structure with low lattice mismatch at Si(−220)/6H–SiC(0001) interface has been confirmed by HRTEM. Corresponding to the observed interface structure, the first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory are employed to understand the bonding mechanism of the surface states. It is shown that the combination of Si with C-terminated 6H–SiC surface is more stable than...
